Unreal!
Hard to imagine the mind control that you need to ski that.
This is equivalent to soloing a hard rock route.

what! they used ropes and harnesses and such - such poor style....
actually awesome and awe inspiring just like AF skiing Whillans ramp.
Rog might cry foul because of the date citing that it was done almost a month into the future and therefore cannot count.

That appears to exceed my skill set. Nice pictures, and the line looks sick.

They are going to be so happy now. From the blog post:
...even being still over 50°, we ski the last pitch, big turns on prefect corn, pass the bergschrund and to our gear depot. Here it is, IT’S DONE!!! This line that I dreamed of, we skied it in style. We look at it one more time from the bottom and we’ll call it “ Swiss Fall Line”. The only remaining anxiety is to now gain the approval of some internet numpty called Wodger. Will our efforts have been wasted?Life is not lift served.

FUCK!
Too bad about that rap though
That is incredible shit. I'm very happy to live in a place where a first descent doesn't have to be that outrageous. Hats off to both a very solid ascent and a ridiculously technical and ballsy ski.
